Lathe Parting Tool Spring Type Tool Holder For QCTP

[C-Bag]

I had never bumped into this and did a search because you said JR you'd seen it else where. Looking at it I had an inkling, but I wanted to make sure. What an interesting fix. Just out of curiosity did you try it without the spring pin, just the hole? For whatever reason I can't get that it really does add "spring".

My lathe does indeed put up a chatter when trying to part off. Soon as I can figure out where I can get a chunk of steel like that this is going on the must make pile.

Thanks for the plans, parts list and pix, good job.
